Systemic Constellations Supervision Training
All practitioners require reflective space and guidance to ensure a standard of practice that is ethical and safe for clients. This is so in therapeutic practice, but also true for Systemic Constellation Work – whatever the setting. This training equips students to support and resource those who are offering Constellation Work in groups, in one-to-one work settings, and in wider contexts.
This training has been carefully designed to meet the growing need in our international community for an experienced cohort of systemic Supervisors. It is running for the second time and is starting September 2023.
This training will be led by Sheila McCarthy Dodd & Gaye Donaldson, with additional guest teachers to be announced.

Who is it for?
This international training is for all those who have completed at least two years of Systemic Constellation training (30+ days of teaching) and have substantive experience of Systemic Constellation Work practice.
What will you learn?
In this training you will learn how to become a competent and reflective systemic constellation Supervisor, offering an appropriate balance of support and challenge. The training focuses on the relational field between Supervisor and supervisee and the creation of a contained space in which the exploration of subjective feelings and experience is held safely, and insight and growth is supported.
The learning journey includes 45 hours of in-depth teaching, training handbook, experiential exercises, two tutorials, personal reflection and practice.
In addition, you will be encouraged to participate in a skills practice group, and a reading group to support personal and professional development.
During the training, students are invited to arrange two free supervision sessions for students within the CSC community. These are part of the experiential learning journey.
During the 9 modules, you will develop an in-depth understanding of ..

- Ethical Maturity
- Who’s in the Field
